Where will Gasperini go now? It’s Napoli “the beautiful woman” what seduces him?

After Atalanta's feat in the Europa League, the manager's embarrassment: "It's as if I had a wife and three children and I had found a beautiful woman"

ROME – “I’m in a situation where you have a wife with three children but you find a beautiful woman“. And Gasperini managed, a little embarrassed, to launch into the dangerous metaphor live nationally, while behind him his wife and three children – Atalanta – celebrated the Europa League. This too is a feat, in its own way. The journalists left him no escape: not even time to enjoy the euphoria that they jumped around his neck: “And now? What does Gasperini do? Does he stay in Bergamo or does he leave?”. The point, to remain in the comparison of the wife and the lover, is to give an identity to the role. Is Napoli the “beautiful woman” who lusts after Gasperini?

It seems like a plebiscite: yes, the fallen and decadent Napoli should be the club that seduces the most celebrated coach in Europe. “It always has a certain effect on me to see that there are those who are indicated as a team to copy – he said, taking all the compliments necessary without giving the rest – I have been indicated as the iron sergeant, but I believe that the best results they are achieved when you are convincing and propose something that is liked. I have some players here who will become coaches, I hope as soon as possible, and I am happy if they bring something with them.”

“As the president said, I’m a bit heavy, I also realize it. We always have the ambition to do something more, it’s not a problem of relationships, it’s always something what you want to do and we always want to do something more. I have to talk to the president tomorrow, the day after tomorrow. Now let’s have a party, if one has to choose the moment to go out, it’s this we think but I think not. I want to lose…”. And there Gasperini started laughing. He’s in the middle of a nice affair, he has to get out of it.
